R help - Jul 2013 - fail to install shiny package in R 3.0.1 on Ubuntu

Hello there,


I have been used shiny package on Windows without any problem. Recently I
switched to Linux OS(Ubuntu 12.04), and installed the latest R version
3.0.1. But I couldn't install "shiny" for some reasons. Here are
the error
message:

** preparing package for lazy loading
Error : package ‘codetools’ was built before R 3.0.0: please re-install it
Error : unable to load R code in package ‘Rcpp’
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘Rcpp’

ERROR: dependency ‘httpuv’ is not available for package ‘shiny’
* removing ‘/home/alex/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0/shiny’

The downloaded source packages are in
‘/tmp/RtmpA7KumO/downloaded_packages’
Warning messages:
1: In install.packages("shiny") :
  installation of package ‘Rcpp’ had non-zero exit status
2: In install.packages("shiny") :
  installation of package ‘httpuv’ had non-zero exit status
3: In install.packages("shiny") :
  installation of package ‘shiny’ had non-zero exit status


I am newbee for Linux OS. Do I need to install an early R version(older
than 3.0.0)? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

Dear Yu

Some of the packages required by shiny were installed for version 2
according to the output provided. So you must at least run this as
superuser on R session:
update.packages()

And answer accordiling.

Then you may try to install shiny.
